As a collaboration between two membership organisations, a not-for-profit organisation, and a private company, all with many years’ experience across the sector, they have recognised this common purpose to help, support and lead the sector towards sustainability.

Equally each member organisation recognises and understands the nature of the challenge that encompasses public and private sectors alike. Each has the ability to work with its members, supporters, and clients to drive these activities forward to a mutually beneficial conclusion.
